In its latest sports content acquisition, Amazon has announced that MLB.TV – Major League Baseball’s out-of-market package – will be made available on its Prime Video channels in the United States.
Prime members in the US can subscribe for $24.99 per month or $118.99 for a Season Pass after a free seven-day trial.
“Prime members love the convenience of streaming live sports on-the-go – and now with MLB.TV, they won’t have to miss watching their favourite teams play,” said Marie Donoghue, Amazon’s vice-president of global sports video. “We know Prime members can’t get enough of sports, and we’re dedicated to providing more access to the Major League Baseball games they want.”
Amazon Prime members are already able to subscribe to CBS All Access, NBA League Pass and PGA Tour Live in the United States, and the Eurosport Player in the UK and Germany.
The tech giant has also directly acquired live rights to NFL Thursday Night Football games, AVP Pro Beach Volleyball tournaments, and the Laver Cup tennis tournament. UK subscribers have access to Premier League matches, the US Open and the men’s ATP World Tour.
